I find it hilarious that there is this on going thread bitching about FF3 and yet it seems NO ONE has even looked at the error messages posted by Marco. The immediate problem is not FF3 but Pango (devel/pango). The ABI changes from time to time for Pango and that requires that that modules list and most likely the aliases list in /etc/pango be up to date with what is in /usr/local/share/examples/pango . The package has the lists file and aliases file as @sample's. That alone is not enough for an upgrade, as opposed to a fresh install. Marco, can you try copying the files from /usr/local/share/examples/pango to /etc/pango and see what happens when you attempt to start up FF3 again? -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
